CINEFEX, launched in 1980, was a quarterly journal covering visual effects in films founded by Don Shay. Each issue featured lengthy, detailed articles that described the creative and technical processes behind current films, the information drawn from interviews with the effects artists and technicians involved.

In its February 2021 issue, #172, Cinefex announced its final issue of the magazine after 40 years of publications.

The entire 40 year catalog would remain available online through the iOS CINEFEX application until the release of iOS 17, under which the CINEFEX application (v.2.3.0) no longer functions, severing the only access to this significant publication.

The official development and application support sites link to a dead 404 page, and the application has not been updated since early 2022.

These uploads are intended to act as a historical record of this important publication.

Please note that this is an on-going project. I hope to eventually fill in metadata to correctly credit all artists involved with the creation of this wonderful magazine.
